Hi,
I would like to give a talk about Gentoo in our local linux group here in
Tel Aviv - Israel.
Can you refer me to talks already made that I can get some examples from?
Maybe give me some good topics to talk about .

Thanks,
Kfir

The Gentoo killer features for me are USE flags, overlays and
catalyst. (And the fact that making ebuilds is easy.)

Also make sure to mention the PMS - Package Manager Specification.
It's really outstanding documentation.

emerge app-doc/pms or http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/pms.xml

WOW! This is fantastic. So Paludis is used in embedded Gentoo?

What is the explicit listing of the different package
management systems? (besides portage and Paludis)

I *REALLY like* this document, it instantly organized (for
me) what was fragmented details on package management
philosophy and detail.

So there is no differences between a server and an embedded
gentoo system, from the perspective of package management?

No nuances related to architecture of the hardware?

I guess it could be, if you want to.
